Description

An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 13.3 before 17.11.6, 18.0 before 18.0.4, and 18.1 before 18.1.2 that could have allowed authenticated project owners to bypass group-level forking restrictions by manipulating API requests.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.
